Rafaella Nunes Francisco and Christian Patrick Iannucci are to be married Sept. 16 at the Penfield Pavilion, an events venue in Fairfield, Conn. Brian Reed, a friend of the groom who became a Universal Life minister for the occasion, is to officiate.
Ms. Francisco, 25, graduated with a degree in law from the University of Santa Cecília in Santos, São Paulo, Brazil.
She is a daughter of Patricia Nunes Goncalves Braz of Santos, São Paulo, and Robson Ramos Francisco of Brasila, Brazil. The bride’s father is a personal trainer at Runway, a gym in Brasilia, and works part-time as a civil rights lawyer in private practice, also in Brasilia. Her mother is a special-education teacher at Cyro de Athayde Carneiro, a preschool in Santos, São Paulo.
Mr. Iannucci, 33, is the founder and the chief executive of Doorbell Barbers and Doorbell Salon in Stamford, Conn., which provide on-demand, in-home grooming services for men and women, including haircuts and styling, as well as manicure-pedicures and massages. He is also a founder and a partner in City Wine Tours in Boston and New York. He graduated from Marymount Manhattan College.
He is the son of Patricia A. Iannucci and Christopher D. Iannucci of Shelton, Conn. The groom’s mother is the senior manager of revenue integrity at Yale-New Haven Health System in New Haven. She is on the board of the Michael Vincent Sage Dragonfly Foundation, a nonprofit organization in Wallingford, Conn., that donates automatic electronic defibrillators to organizations in need. His father, based in Shelton, is a homebuilder and contractor in Fairfield County, Conn.
The couple met in June 2017 through the dating app Bumble, and after their first date at Geronimo’s, a Mexican restaurant in Fairfield, they rarely went a day without seeing each other. Five months later he proposed.
